Text sent was I out of line

Can you go back and edit your OP by just deleting the part that didn’t come out right?

If I had the numbers of many people around me I'd love to be brave enough send this text. So many dog owners suck. Why do they have dogs when they work all day and leave in the back yard and don't do anything with them when they come home? My SIL was like this until their dog passed and she would shrug and say no one has complained. Really?! You don't think the barking is not bothering anyone??? Believe me it's bothering someone, more than one person.

Perfectly reasonable to me!

If your neighbor's dogs bark for 5 hours, there is no need for you to be polite. You need to be blunt. Then you need to call animal control or the police.

I'm confused. Did you already send the text and now you regret it? Because you'll get all our opinions, but what difference does it make if you already sent it?

Personally, barking dogs all day would drive me nuts. I would have gone over and told them the noise is disruptive and asked them to do something about it, and if that didn't work I would have called animal control.

Address the situation from your side of the fence with an anti bark device. Either hand held or mounted. I'd get both for a double whammy.

If you really want them to change something, you can’t make them feel like you’ve been stewing in silence for years - there is no motivation to change if they think this is a wound that can’t be healed. If I knew them personally, I’d probably talk in person or call, but if text is the normal medium, I’d say something like, “With school starting remotely, we are aware of neighborhood noises that have never been a bother before. You adorable pups have barks that carry, and Child can’t get off mute to participate in science class. Can we work out a schedule for their outside time? Maybe I could send junior over to toss a ball and tire them out some mornings.”

I know that is overkill and not your responsibility - they probably won’t offer a schedule or ask for play time - but by offering to partner with them, you’ve made it “our” problem and if they are good neighbors, they will be embarrassed and will look into solutions. If they aren’t good neighbors, it won’t matter what you say.

I’m 100% behind being blunt and to the point about barking dogs,

I commented at the gym one day about these dogs who live behind me and bark incessantly when they’re outside and how I would love to send their owner bark collars for them. I could see the breed so I mentioned the breed and the number. Next day the owner was at my door apologizing. I had no idea who the owner was but they overheard me talking to my friend about it. No more barking dogs!.

This is a great idea! My 22 lb dog acts like a psycho around the dog next door when we walk. Bought a $30 device off Amazon and within days he got the message! It's one of those things that makes a sound only dogs hear! Press the button for when unwanted behavior happens and they stop. 

I'd guess with a little work on your part you'll have more peace and quiet than if you talk to the neighbors!

I would find out what the laws are where you live. Here, prolonged barking is considered a nuisance and owners can be fined. I would have approached them, in person, and let them know it was an issue. If that didn't resolve the problem, let the city handle it. Here is the ordinance in my city:

Barking Dog Law?
Yes, it is illegal for your dog to bark uninterrupted and disturb neighbors. If your dog is creating a nuisance, Animal Control has the authority to remove your dog from your property to abate the nuisance. You then are required to impound out your dog, subject to all fees and fines incurred.

Link please, my neighbor’s dog died a couple of years ago, I wasn’t happy that the dog passed. I was thrilled to be able to go out in my backyard with her barking the entire time I was out. Didn’t matter where I was or what I was doing.

Fast forward two years and she got a new dog. Same freaking thing, bark, bark, bark the entire flipping time I am out. This neighbor and I get along well with the exception of the dog. The other day I got so annoyed she heard me yell at the dog to shut up and let her in. I would rather not have to reach that level of frustration again. TIA
